There are no lawyers. It's one or two guys trying to get some stupid music site started without paying any money out of their own pocket. You see this pile of crap all the time. Enough said.

It was pretty obvious that there were no lawyers, let alone not the best... None of them would make such a stupid mistake in their T&Cs that we can't point them out. And besides, at least over here, if the terms of the contract are difficult to understand, they'll be interpreted against the party relying on them. In this case, the music site.

Guess it helps that musicians have to be lawyers and accountants all at once.

Thanks for making this known man. I received the same message, and I was displeased. This user Just joined a few days ago, most likely just to get people to go to his site to win money? ( sounds like a scam ). Very Shady indeed. He has no respect nor intention to be a participant of the newgrounds community. Also, I would only be partners with people that can spell "receive" (he spelled it as "recieve") and at least puts spaces between his punctuations.

"And in retrospect, I say we've done no wrong. Who are we to judge what is right, and what has purpose for us?"

The amount of people that get the PM might could be less than the amount that read this topic. That's probably why PMs from him are still being sent out.
(At least, given enough time that could become true.) :U

That was taken care of as well, but if you get any more similar-looking PMs from this "company" PM Wade immediately, or if you don't get a replay within a couple of days, PM one of the audio mods and we can try and get in contact with Wade. Make sure you include the name of the account you got the spam PM from.

Looks like he remade his account and started spamming PMs again.

Thank-you for your attention

I'm still rather unfamiliar with all the mods at this point, would it be possible to give a list of them or find one some where that we could get in touch with if the problem arises again?

Yep I just got the same message from the same guy. Now the poor part of me said, "maybe I should" While the logical smacked him in the face and said, "You idiot! What about your ownership rights and credit?" So yeah WAY to shady for me to even consider. If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.

I wonder if he has a pattern for selecting musicians?

He's targeted a lot of the regulars on the AP save for one or two (strangely enough, those few people he missed were moderators, Midimachine included). I cannot say if he finds them from the Audio Forums, or from the top of each audio category for the month/year/all-time.

I certainly hope he didn't go blindly for all of them though, because it'd be a slap in his face if he finds that there are professional audio users who are already making some earnings from the work they do.
